Liveblogging the Golden Globes

By Karina Longworth posted 1 year ago

At this point, not even Clooney could act fast enough to end the WGA strike in time to allow a “real” Golden Globes ceremony to go on, but we must be strong. So later this evening, I’ll be blogging what ever’s left of the event live, as I watch it on television. Matt Lauer will play Barbara Walters on a two-hour Dateline special with some of the nominees beforehand, which I may comment on if it gets totally ridiculous, but the press conference proper starts at 6 PST/9 EST, and that’s when my live blog will start, here at this URL, in earnest.

Sneaky! I was just about to shut my computer down for the weekend (figuratively speaking––you know I don’t actually turn my computer off, ever) when I got the WTF? Variety alert of the week, in a five-day span that’s been full of them. Due to “financial bickering” with NBC, the Hollywood Foreign Press has decided to put what’s left of the Golden Globes telecast “up for grabs”–meaning, they’ll produce the “news event”, and anyone who wants to show up with a camera can air it. “Under the new arrangement, there will be no restrictions placed on media outlets covering the press conference,” quoth the press release.
